hraes, i think it was a server error. some duplicates showed up around the same time and i was worried about triple posting. The server was hiccuping and coughing at the same time.

at least you went easy on him.....

What kind of paint are you using? I've had my center console done for over a year now and it still looks as good as the day I installed it.

I was going to have my console painted PPW, but I'm worried about sun "glare" or that it might be distracting.

What's everyone's thoughts on this? I was also considering the EVO-R cf dash kit, when it comes out.

I've seen it done in person, and I didn't like it at all. If I paint anything on the interior of my PPW it's going to be something like Silverstone or that new black color on the newer Z's. I don't like under hood and interior pieces painted white...it's looks too cheesy and "pimp my ride-ish".

I say pick some sort of silver color...dark or light...just not white though.
